The Nairobi Hospital

What The Nairobi Hospital does

The Nairobi Hospital is a non-profit medical institution founded in 1954 and headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. It operates a main hospital facility supplemented by 8 outpatient centers distributed across Nairobi and Kiambu counties, including the Warwick Centre in Gigiri which caters to the international and diplomatic community. Its patient base spans the general public, families, busy professionals, and the regional expatriate and diplomatic population, supported by nine named insurance partners and an online appointment channel.

The hospital delivers multi-specialty clinical care across 25+ specialty clinics, anchored by advanced diagnostic infrastructure: an integrated RIS/PACS platform driving 3T MRI, 128- and 64-slice CT scanners, a 256-slice CT scanner at the Chandaria A&E Centre, 4D obstetric ultrasound, and digital mammography. A Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory supports interventional cardiology including angiography, PCI, structural heart interventions, and electrophysiology studies. The institution also runs a College of Health Sciences and a School of Nursing, providing in-house clinical training and a workforce pipeline.

Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service basis from consultations, diagnostic imaging, emergency and urgent care, specialty clinic visits, outpatient center services, and interventional cardiac procedures. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the main hospital, the 8 outpatient centers, online booking, and walk-in consultations, with payer access enabled through nine insurance partnerships. In 2025 the institution attained ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications and appointed a new Chairman of the Board.
